In the performance field and citizen theatre there is a varied culture of participatory creative social practice aimed at exploring societal transformations. These methods engage communities in performance-based activities that envision and rehearse possible futures, collaboratively getting to know collective challenges from the inside, and acting and improvising in response. Through techniques such as Augusto Boal’s Theatre of the Oppressed and other community-focused performance techniques, these practices aim to open up dialogue, grow relationships in community, and empower participants to shape and reflect upon alternative futures. <ref>Boal, Augusto.
